The U.S. Forest Service plans to ticket a Steamboat Springs man who crashed his paraglider after launching it from the top of the ski area’s gondola.

The man, whose name was not released, will be cited for being in a restricted area.

Ski area spokeswoman Loryn Kasten said skiers called Ski Patrol on Saturday after seeing the man go into trees out-of-bounds. He was not seriously hurt. Officials believe the man hiked up the mountain because there’s no record he took the gondola, Kasten said.

Forest Service mountain sports ranger Erica Dickerman said Members of the Storm Peak Hang Gliding Association can legally paraglide from the ski area, but the man is not a member. The association has insurance and holds a permit from the Forest Service. Dickerman said the man is being encouraged to join the association so he can get some mentoring and training.
